When catching animals in the wild for scientific research and observation, it was difficult to avoid contaminating wild animals with human scents. Under normal circumstances, it was not a big problem, as long as it did not touch the cubs.
There were no cubs in the group of fennec foxes that Zhang Zian had caught. It was not their breeding season. Even if there were half-grown ones, they no longer needed to be fed by their mothers.
The hesitation of the small group of fennec foxes seemed to have angered the leader. It squeaked and rushed over, barking fiercely at each individual in the small group of fennec foxes, as if to say, "Come at me if you don't like it."
The small group of fennec foxes was afraid of its power, and suddenly trembled. No one dared to touch the tiger's whiskers, obediently bowing their heads.
The leader once again unified this small group of fennec foxes, and this was all within Wei Kang's expectations.
After a group had a leader, it would not easily change owners, unless the leader was old and weak, or seriously injured in a fight. This leader obviously did not have such problems.
The two groups of fennec foxes successfully met and enjoyed the water and food together. They ate all the food and water, licking the plates until they glowed, and their stomachs were round.
The sun rose higher and higher, and the temperature gradually became hotter.
As nocturnal animals, the fennec foxes had to return to their nests to avoid the sun and sleep. Otherwise, they would quickly dehydrate and die of heatstroke in the sun.
The leader ran away with them, and as they ran, they reluctantly looked back at the empty plates, as if hoping for water and food to appear again.
After running past another sand dune, they disappeared from the field of view of the telescope.
Wei Kang and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. They did not dare to speak at all, and even had to be careful when they breathed.
Gao Ke stopped the recording and looked at the playback, nodding to Wei Kang to show that he had captured everything.
"Teacher, let's leave the plates here and put some water and food in them! These little foxes are so cute and pitiful, so cute! "He He said excitedly, thinking that Wei Kang would definitely agree to this request.
"No."
Wei Kang shook his head and refused. "We can't let them have the idea that they can find food and water here. They live very well in the desert and do not need our extra help. "
It seemed cold, but this was true love for the fennec foxes. They could live however they wanted. They couldn't always run here and wait for food to be delivered to their doorstep, because they couldn't wait anymore.
"Let's go. A year later, someone will come to pick up their collars." Wei Kang waved his hand.
Zhang Zian had some doubts and asked, "Fennec foxes might build their nests underground, right? What if the collar falls on the ground? Will it block radio signals? "
"There's nothing we can do about it," Wei Kang said. "Anyway, they move in groups. We can't let every collar fall to the ground. In fact, some of the more advanced radio collars can send data to satellites every day and can also upload the collected GPS coordinates to Google Earth every day. There is no need to pick it up again after it falls off. However, those collars are prepared for large and medium-sized animals. They are equipped with high-capacity batteries and high-power radio transmitters, but the collars themselves are larger and heavier. They are not suitable for small mammals. "
Zhang Zian understood. Although it was a pity, it was the only way.
As they walked back to the camp, Wei Kang had already explained the situation to Peter Lee through the walkie-talkie, saying that they would return to the camp soon and could prepare to set off.
The people who stayed at the camp began to dismantle the tents. Today's departure time was delayed. Everyone was inexplicably happy, feeling as if they had earned hundreds of millions.
Zhang Zian was walking when he was suddenly pulled by someone next to him. He looked sideways and saw that the person who pulled him was Xiao Tianyu.
Xiao Tianyu's face was covered with several band-aids. It was as if he had lost a game of cards and was stuck with paper strips. He looked very funny. One of his eyes was a little swollen, and there were large bruises on the corners of his mouth and eyes that had not disappeared. It was estimated that it would take a few days for it to heal. It proved that Gao Ke had hit him hard.
Zhang Zian was about to ask him what was the matter, but he saw him quietly make a gesture, indicating that he should slow down and not make a sound. He had something to say.
Xiao Tianyu's expression was sneaky, and coupled with the bruises on his face, it looked even more indescribable.
Zhang Zian thought that he was going to appeal for his punishment, which was certainly impossible. Otherwise, it would be difficult to convince the crowd, but he still slowed down and listened to what he had to say.
The others were excitedly talking about the fennec foxes, not realizing that Zhang Zian and Xiao Tianyu had fallen behind.
"What is it?"
After making sure that the others could not hear, Zhang Zian opened his mouth to ask.
Xiao Tianyu gave him a "you know" look with shifty eyes. He reached out his chubby and bruised palm and said in a low voice, "Let … let's talk in private!"
"What?"
Zhang Zian was stunned. The others had already walked far away. Why would he need to talk in private? What was there to be so secretive about?
Xiao Tianyu showed a meaningful smile, pretending to be intimate with him as he elbowed him in the ribs. He whispered, "Hey! I heard it all! Still pretending? Let's talk in private! "
"I don't understand what you mean." Zhang Zian was really confused. He felt like he was talking to a chicken and a duck.
Xiao Tianyu slapped his thigh and pointed at him with a pained expression. "You, you're so dishonest! I passed by your tent when I went to pee in the morning. I clearly heard Sister Chi Ling's voice coming from your tent! It was so numb … I almost peed in my pants at that moment! "
"…"
Zhang Zian wanted to say that he had a problem with his prostate and had to be treated!
Xiao Tianyu winked and reached out his hand with a smirk. He said, "Where did you get Sister Chi Ling's casting material? Let's talk in private! "
Oh, he meant to borrow one, not borrow one!
"No, you're already like this, and you're still thinking about casting? Aren't you afraid of peeing blood? "Zhang Zian complained.
Xiao Tianyu heard that his voice was too loud and was afraid that others would hear. He wanted to cover his mouth with his chubby hand, but Zhang Zian dodged.
"Sigh! The night is long, my whole body hurts, I can't sleep! Tsk, quick! Let's talk about it! "Xiao Tianyu shamelessly moved closer.
"You heard wrong. I really don't have Sister Chi Ling's casting material! It's time to go, stop wasting time! Take care of yourself, don't think about casting all day! "
Zhang Zian shook off his hand, caught up with the others, and walked quickly to the campsite.
"Tsk! You're still keeping it to yourself! You don't have the spirit of 1024 sharing at all! " Xiao Tianyu looked at Zhang Zian's back and stomped his feet. He said to himself disdainfully, "Forget it if you don't want to! Wait till tomorrow morning when you hide in your tent and listen to Sister Chi Ling's voice casting the spell. I'll expose you on the spot! "
He forgot that he was in the desert. He stomped his feet and his shoes sank into the sand. His shoes were filled with sand, and he could only curse his bad luck. He took off his shoes and poured the sand out.
